Follow-ups
If no timeline or sense of next steps is given upon exiting the interview, allow at least 4-5 business days (a week) before following up, as it's likely that they are interviewing additional candidates and haven't yet made a decision.
1) Address the person you are emailing by their first name.
2) Mention the job title of the role you're following up about and the date you interviewed to refresh their memory.
3) Confirm that you're still interested in the position and that you are eager to hear about next steps.
4) Finally, ask for an update.
Following up will keep you fresh in the interviewer's mind!
